I can't put my finger on the reason I love this layout, it looks kinds of royal to me, don't know... The layout was inspired by sketch #121 @ Twisted Sketches, the twist was: punch. I love the shape of the main paper (you can see the paper I created with the "negative" of this shape right here). I wanted to make the twist significant, so I chose the Martha Stewart butterfly punch and added 3 pearls to each of them. I embossed a white cardstock with swiss dots folder, added a ribbon and doodled a little... Love it. Now when i think about it - I may love it because of Mor's picture :-)

After a few weeks that I missed Tuesday Trio's challenges - I'm presenting my current card. The challenge for sketch #86 was to use both sides of double sided paper as well as use the digital stamp by Crafty Sentiments Designs. I took a MLS paper: one side is the main background and the matting (of the paper and the scalloped circle) is from the other side. I don't think I'm good in coloring, but I gave it a try...

Last year I attended a fantastic scrapbooking-workshops weekend in France. You can see related posts here. I'm starting to think seriously about joining the next PACS in Italy, in February... Fantasy... Might come true?

This card was inspired by Ayelet's comment - when she saw the apples in this card (and this also), she suggested to try to adhere the apple on top of the core, instead of the other way around... Not sure if I explained it right, but you can see the differences in the apples...

The pictures in this layout were taken on the first day of school, last year - September 1st, 2010. Yaara went to 1st grade and we were all very excited for her, for us. My parents didn't want to miss this significant event and they joined us. Next year they will come too, to escort Mor to first grade :-)

2 years ago we participated in the 5th Modiin Walk. There was a path in Ben Shemen forest and few "attractions" like baking pitta bread, flying-fox for kids (~20 meters cliff), few creativity work stations and so on...

This was a fun layout to make! After seeing the sketch - Twisted Sketches #119 - I wanted to choose the right picture for it. Since the twist was: Start, I thought this picture might fit. It was Saturday morning, about 2 weeks after I came back from a business trip to the US (and bought some clothes for Yaara & Mor), it was a shiny day, after a chilly month... The girls wore new shirts and we went to eat breakfast in a restaurant... We got there few minutes before it was open, so the girls posed and I took pictures - the usual routine :-)

Another card made from my new stack, with the big apples paper. I adhered it to a red paper to mat it and emphasis the apples and I cut off the paper 1 apple, to adhere in 3D. The sentiment is embossed - Love this technique!

Another layout I created with my new stack: School Is Cool. Yaara had some homework and I took some pictures... I wonder if she'll complain that I took pictures instead of helping her... LOL Anyway - the layout was inspired by sketch #118 @ Twisted Sketches - it wasn't my week in DT duties, but since I missed last week - this is my compensation :-)

I made some cards for Rosh HaShana and I used Crafting Jewish Style lovely papers. I chose the circle motif and punched it from a paper, found the right tag for the card, added stickers with 3d effect, faux stitching and done!

Yaara is in second grade. Big girl :-) I used my new stack School Is Cool to create this layout - right after she entered the classroom on the first day to school. Every pupil that comes to the classroom is looking for his star in a basket and put it on the board. When the teacher comes, she sees who's in and who's missing...

I'm not sure who was more excited - the parents or the children. I was excited for sure!

Yesterday was so exciting: Yaara is going to second grade, and Mor is going to pre-school kindergarten. The kindergarten is located inside the school and combined with the first grade - they have common activities during the day (of course they also have things in separate). Mor was very proud to wear the school's uniform, put her bag on the shoulders and go to the first day. We know she's in good hands, with the kindergarten teacher - Ravit (who was also Yaara's kindergarten teacher).
